foreign influence in this area really is very evident you got a lot of foreign signs of foreign shopfronts and add to this the discussions about education failure as well for the cities and crime within immigrant groups and you've got real problems with many of these issues popping into prejudice says a lot of people still hold about immigration. the recent survey conducted by the foundation in germany found that almost a third of respondents felt that immigrants were coming to exploit the country's welfare system and should be sent home when jokes were scarce almost the same amount for the country is being overrun by foreigners do you have a mix so you have a german here and you have english here and english here and this is turkish this is this is nice so everybody can read that but if it is only only in turkish people they feel strange when they think where am i living this is an arabian city but

should the ensuing to beit has focused on muslim immigrants with some migrant families reluctant to integrate into a society that they feel it's prejudiced against them but i have my own personality or my i believe things on my own. the way i've been brought up and don't think that changing my personality or the way i look the way i talk or my even my mother tongue would change. where we. have an effect on the german culture projects like this local community center and aiding integration and teaching children the german language from an early age but with few bilingual arabic or take families likenesses sending their children to private schools where they do not yet learn german despite the tough rhetoric from the top germany acknowledges that immigration is desirable for its economy that migrants have to be

willing to integrate we need people in all of the industrial countries because we have not so many kids anymore i have no no kids not of germans have no kids so where should the kids come from to work and help the industry going on so we need people from other countries to come in getting himself. no one would talk much and . if they knew how often they misunderstood others and a major challenge now with it they claim why a date then would be to chime bridge cultural divides which had been simmering quietly for a long time. tensions around immigration are also erupting in another european country sweden police in the town of momo are searching for a gunman who is thought to be targeting foreigners a series of shootings over the last year has left one dead and eight wounded journalist james savage says the situation highlights warrens there's a general hostility towards immigrants in swedish society it comes just

a month after the swedish election in which the sweden democrats which are a far right party the hostile towards immigration and and sometimes they hostile towards immigrants as a group and in general it's they were elected to parliament for the first time last month the fact that this is come to light since then does does. ties together a few pins in swedish society. reinforces this worry the there's a general hostility towards immigrants but on the other hand you can't say that these shootings are a reaction to the sweden democrats being elected because of course they started a year ago long before the democrats made it into parliament but it's a sign perhaps of increasing disquiet among a small minority of swedes about immigration in sweden. that was journalist james servage talking to us from the swedish capital. the russian anti-terrorist committee has confirmed the country's security service has busted a foreign financial network that was supplying money to militants in the north

caucasus officials saying creased funding from abroad was a major reason behind the recent surge of attacks in the region stated business has this report. the russian security forces believe that this foreign funding is directly tied to the increase in unrest in the north caucasus and they're primarily looking at dogs. and chechnya the agents say they have uncovered a network in which dummy companies deposit money into banks that money is then withdrawn and then brought into russia via money and how much money has made it into the hands of militants is unclear but investigators assisted the money makes it to military leaders and then is doled out to foot soldiers one of the leaders that it's it's expected to have biggest it from this money is doku umarov now you name remember him as one of russia's most wanted criminals he's on the international most wanted list and he's also believed to be behind the moscow metro

bombings that killed forty and left more than a hundred injured the most recent attack happened at chechnya when militants attacked the parliament building in the capital and killed three people also in the past month militants detonated a car bomb in a busy market in north the said investigators are saying that they feel that they put a hold on some of this violence that they're putting a good defense on it because they were able to stop some of the money flow but they're still investigating to find out exactly where all of this money is coming from what groups are associated with this cash. reporting meanwhile the case against another russian terror suspect. has been closed by an appeals court in warsaw who has been living in britain since two thousand and two it was a rest of the opponent. was later released on the grounds he'd been granted asylum in the u.k. moscow accuses him of terror and other crimes and is calling for his extradition if convicted in russia could face

a life sentence britain's decision to grant him political asylum was one of the reasons behind the sun relations between moscow and london in recent years. well still to come this hour for you here and turning to. god after a life of. boredom hell next convict turned priest since dedicate his life to helping other ex offenders and he's doing it the old fashioned way. washington's in a state of denial following the publication of nearly four hundred thousand secret u.s. files on the war in iraq leaked by the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks they suggest american forces often turned a blind eye to cases of iraqi torture and killings the documents detail u.s. forces handing prisoners over to iraq interrogated despite overwhelming evidence of inhumane treatment many detainees allegedly went on to meet a violent death u.s. military officials say that orders were not to intervene directly washington's refusing to investigate medications despite an outcry from half

a dozen arab countries i'm a former cia analyst ray mcgovern says the american media is now trying to divert public attention from. slamming its founder julian assange. there goes back to the ancient greek times when you didn't like the message you shut shoot them but you kill the messenger and in those days so what they're trying to do is deflect discussion of the hard details that have come out in these documents and have been either ad hominem argument against us to make it sort of to trivialize it and to make it sort of a personal thing the the treasure trove of documents is precisely what you would expect from a war of aggression. don't pledge before that word because that's the way to define what we did in going into iraq and afghanistan i wouldn't and it was justice jackson our own supreme court justice who said perpetrating

a war of aggression is to commit the supreme international crime differing from other war crimes only in so far as it pertains to the accumulated. evil of the whole what's the accumulated evil torture kidnapping shooting civilians it's all there right in the we can be clear i want to point b. helicopter soldiers say we have some civilians down here i want to surrender and be from headquarters you can surrender to a helicopter. and those civilians it's the worst kind of thing and wiki leaks has done a great service to our country by exposing that. saddam hussein's former deputy has been given a death sentence from the iraqi high court tariq aziz was found guilty of the persecution of islamic parties the head of russia's duma committee on foreign affairs says the verdict was deliberately time to distract attention from the row over the latest wiki leaks revelations one of the skulls the sentence further i'm

now joined by karl turney from stop the world coalition joining us live from london thanks very much indeed for joining us now tariq aziz he was given a fifteen year sentence with seven more years added in a little later as a later ruling and now we see he's been sentenced to death so why the sudden turn of events do you think well the different sentences of course offer different accusations being found guilty of different crimes. however i think there is something very political behind this i think it. is partially something which is not so much justice as. retribution you would you agree with the link that many are claiming that there is a link with wiki leaks recent revelations that that is another political reason. well perhaps the timing has something to do with that i certainly think if you make

the comparison with wiki leaks what tariq aziz is being sentenced to compare to what other people are getting away with it is certainly an interesting contrast but he's been accused of violent crimes the later sentences as we've been reporting for eliminating religious parties some would say he should surely meet the same fate as saddam hussein and his other henchmen. i think that it's in the iraqis will feel it's in their interests to repeat what we saw across the world's televisions in relation to sit down with i can't imagine that maliki will want that to happen the issue of what sentence he should be given is a different matter is he guilty in the sense that he's collectively responsible

for the crimes and breaches of human rights of the saddam hussein government yes sampson be clear he was central he was the closest adviser to saddam and so on in that sense he's completely guilty however it's also the case of the masses of conflict the fifth. go unchallenged and the defeated the people who pay the price and that's in my opinion that's not justice but how realistically did you see the thousands of civilian deaths and torture in iraq that's been reported recently being brought to account in terms of people being prosecuted for that i mean do you realistically think that's going to happen the u.s. government said it's not even though allow any investigations. now exactly that's what i'm saying what the wiki leaks show is the scale of torture was huge it was widespread and even more the united states and

britain were absolutely complicit this is not a matter of a few soldiers turning a blind few bad apples in the barrel this is a case of the american military issuing central command to not to act its own sort of torture and breach of human rights and so on and if there were any justice in the world not only would the torture be punished but so would the american and british. he went along with it was let's talk about ok just to start point and quickly go back to tariq aziz in a moment to your point the point the point i'm making is is that the thick in a conflict go unpunished and those who are defeat is saddam the same tariq ali tariq aziz and so on they go. against whom the retribution brought my point. the verdict has obviously raised

a lot of controversy globally some countries like russia saying are saying that the death sentence is inappropriate do you think that comments that you've made and that we've heard from the international community do you feel you absolutely could be a change in the verdict and he could be reprieved. i think i think that's possible not because of the comments king it's all but i think it's possible because it would not be perceived as being in line with. democratic justice to execute someone who is in the mid seventy's and who is according to my understanding already very early at the stroke at the beginning of this year who is suffering from cancer and so on so i think from the point of view of public relations for the maliki government. across the world it might well be the case. with pretty tough enough for the thing

here but some are saying that iraq would be a better place without him and that would bring perhaps further stability the fact that another member of saddam's regime has been executed. i'm not sure it will bring the stability i know so tall i don't want to be in a position of defending the regime of saddam the saying or defending tariq aziz he was clearly implicated in a whole series of going green shoots of human rights and so on and so forth i'm not defending that regime in that i don't think that what's going on is going to bring in the proof to the situation in iraq the regime was pretty terrible what seemed its place is not much better that's one of the things that wiki leaks is showing else and to execute this won't change that situation in my

opinion what the. citizens are looking for is a better more secure and stable future live in karachi execution of terakhir cease doesn't bring that i can thanks very much indeed carol turner from the stop the war coalition joining us live in london we appreciate time thank you very much indeed thank you. well now to some other world news this hour here on r.t. iran has started loading fuel for its first nuclear power plant to run says the russian built bushehr reactor will stop producing atomic energy early next year russia will help operate the facility supply nuclear fuel and take away the waste iran as a separate uranium enrichment program which the international community fears will be used to make weapons something that iran denies. quake triggered tsunami on monday has left more than one hundred people dead scores are missing and houses have been destroyed with hundreds seeking refuge in shelters around twenty people have been injured by hot ash and rocks as the volcano has begun to erupt in indonesia scientists had warned that pressure. could trigger one of the most

hello and welcome to the business bulletin russian companies listing on the world stock markets all but dried up during the financial crisis now the recovery is taking hold there are signs the trend is beginning to reverse among others service style and male doctor rue have announced their intention to go to the market tom blackwell managing director of communications says the success of these deals will give a clear indication if conditions have improved. now we do have what seems to be seven deals that are in the market all the same time and over the course of the next week we'll we'll see how they go but in your point of view do you think the outlook looks positive i mean you still seem to suggest so but what it's actually interesting at the moment in that you know you've if you look at most of the comments out there from the sort of the analyst message about most of the public commentary around us russian i.p.o. is the six it still remains extremely skeptical and i think that actually that perception will remain out there until we see a few successful deals having sent that i as i mentioned that there are these deals

out there in the market where we're on a few of them ourselves and it does appear that many of these may well get away and i think if if most of these do happen and get away more or less within the price range i think that you'll have a very different perception of russian i.p.o.'s by the end of the but you mentioned the skepticism which is around a lot in the market what is that based on well you know it's based really on the if you look at actually the performance of almost all russian i.p.o.'s historically to date the performance hasn't been as quite as good as you might expect and certainly since the crisis the performance of the post-crisis i.p.o. is but for one or two exceptions that they will says significantly down so investors have actually lost a lot of money in the last round of russian i.p.o.'s so that you can understand that fuels some skepticism i also think that there are if you look at the forecast of the beginning of this year i think that they were. i.p.o. forecasts always tend to be a bit aspirational in some ways and so i think that that's fueled some additional disappointment with what's happened or not happened so far this year so it's going to take some time it's going to take

a few good deals before before that's robust and edgy official at sea with the top issue with the presidential commission on modernization dmitri medvedev told the meeting in the russian republic of todd just on why he believed it was essential for reforming the country's economy. energy efficiency is paramount to the modernization of our economy and social sphere is my achieving these goals we create the shape of a new economy and increase competitiveness of all goods and services create new ventures. improve environment and quality of life the whole project is difficult and frankly speaking we haven't done much yet budget allocations need to have opportunities for attracting private investments that's why we need to get rid of the barriers for using energy service contracts. when you move on now let's turn to the equity markets russian stocks finished in the red on tuesday i was on low or metals prices and they said that the majors with the price of crude filed by us
